LIV Golf championship win has shown more than ever there's still plenty of work to do as the latest set of Official World Golf Rankings were released

Jon Rahm was flying high after his two major victories when he joined LIV Golf in December 2023, but the former world No. 1 has now slipped to 52nd in the rankings

Jon Rahm has fallen outside the world's top 50 golfers after previously criticising the Official World Golf Ranking system.

Jon Rahm made a sensational U-turn on his decision to commit his future to the PGA Tour by signing a reported €463million contract with LIV Golf in December 2023

It was bound to happen sooner or later: Jon Rahm, the highest paid golfer on the planet, is out of the top 50 of the world rankings. After eight years, the Basque player drops to number 52. Is it all LIV Golf's fault?

Rahm made the groundbreaking decision to leave the PGA Tour and join the LIV Golf Tour in December 2023, and his career has suffered ever since. His stellar play has fallen off, his public persona has suffered after he betrayed the tour that he vocally championed previously, and his standing in the OWGR has tumbled.

Jon Rahm has dropped out of the world's top 50 golfers for the first time in nearly eight years following his switch to LIV Golf, with the Spaniard currently ranked 52nd

Jon Rahm reached an unwanted low this week after dropping out of the world's top 50 for the first time since early 2017. The Spaniard was World No.1 this time two years ago but now finds himself 52nd in the Official World Golf Ranking - a system he has been critical of in the past.
